Rim joist spray foam insulation in Cold Lake is the item that survives the ownership question. The rim joist is the band of framing where the floor structure sits on the foundation wall, running the whole way around the house, and it is small enough that the usual objection in this town does not apply to it.
Small enough to be worth doing even if you are leaving
Most envelope work in a posting town runs into the same wall: why spend on a building somebody else will own. This one does not, because it takes an afternoon, it costs comparatively little, and the difference is felt within the same winter rather than over years. An owner with two years left can buy it, feel it, and hand on a better house without having made a decision they regret.
A leak that runs for the whole of a very long season
The band is a few inches tall and easy to dismiss. What makes it significant this far north-east is duration: the heating season is longer here than almost anywhere else on this site and there is no warm spell to relieve anything, so a leak in that band runs every hour of every one of those days. A small rate multiplied by that many hours stops being small, which is why this item outperforms work costing several times as much on the same building.
What is actually in there on a house of this age
Most of this stock is post-war and later, built in waves as the base grew, and the band was treated with a piece of batt pushed into each bay if it was treated at all. That fills the space without sealing it, so air still moves around the edges and through the joints in the framing behind it. It is the same on a house from 1975 and a house from 2015, which surprises owners of the newer ones.
What a family actually notices in the house
The floor above the band stops being cold at the edges of the room. The strip of cold along the outside walls of a finished basement goes away. The furnace settles into longer, less frequent cycles. In a Cold Lake winter those three are noticeable rather than marginal, and they are what a family remembers about a house whether they own it for twenty years or for three.
